| Summary: | The overall context proposed in this paper is part of
our long-standing goal to contribute to a group of community
that suffers from Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD); a lifelong
developmental disability. The objective of this paper is to present
the development of our pilot experiment protocol where children
with ASD will be exposed to the humanoid robot NAO. This fully
programmable humanoid offers an ideal research platform for
human-robot interaction (HRI). This study serves as the platform
for fundamental investigation to observe the initial response and
behavior of the children in the said environment. The system
utilizes external cameras, besides the robot’s own visual system.
Anticipated results are the real initial response and reaction of
ASD children during the HRI with the humanoid robot. This
shall leads to adaptation of new procedures in ASD therapy
based on HRI, especially for a non-technical-expert person to be
involved in the robotics intervention during the therapy session. |
